Toolsday Giveaway: Win a Chain Saw Sharpener

Last Toolsday we asked you to identify a long, skinny tool with a small scope on the end of it. Most people knew that it was an optical device used to determine the strength of eye-glass lens.

We randomly picked one winner out of all last week’s comments and that lucky person is Bayou hag from McDonough, GA who thought it was a surveyor’s tool.

Next Tuesday, we will have two winners, each one will win a PowerSharp chain saw sharpening kit. It can transform a dull blade into like-new sharp in just a few seconds. The kit is easy and fast to use. Simply attach it to the blade, press the sharpener against a solid object for a few seconds, remove the sharpener and you’re ready to start cutting.

To win a PowerSharp kit, post a comment (click “comment” above) and tell us what the tool pictured below is used for. You don’t have to answer correctly to win; we will randomly pick two winners.

This is a nose pliers use to gain control of your cow. Notice the opening at the bottom of one handle. This is where a rope is attached and the other end tied to the headgate after inseting the balled end into the cow’s nose. Note that a similiar technique is used on horses and that is called a “twitch.” A twitch is simply a small loop of cord attached to a handle. the loop is placed over the nose of the horse and then twisted until the pressure gets the horse’s attention. The device you have shown would never be used on a horse.
